Ingredients
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • fresh spinach: 2 cups (packed)
- • turmeric powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • eggs: 2
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic clove, minced: 1
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • chopped fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons
- • chili flakes: 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
- 1 In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the rolled oats, turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are creamy and tender.
- 2 While the oats are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3 Fill a small saucepan with water, add apple cider vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3 minutes for runny yolks, or longer if firmer yolks are desired. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to drain.
- 4 Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with sautéed spinach and a poached egg. Drizzle with lemon juice, then sprinkle with black pepper, parsley, and optional chili flakes for added heat. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • Pair this savory turmeric oatmeal with a side of fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast. The natural sweetness of berries or sliced apples contrasts beautifully with the savory oats, providing an antioxidant-rich accompaniment. For a refreshing beverage, enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a green tea to complement the dish's vibrant flavors. For an additional nutritional boost, consider adding a small serving of sliced avocado or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds on top. These additions not only enhance the dish's overall texture but also provide healthy fats and extra fiber, ensuring you stay satiated through the morning rush.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the oatmeal to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess. Poached eggs are best made fresh; however, you can prepare the spinach and oats in advance for quick assembly.
